On their wedding night, the
young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00 for their first
lovemaking encounter. In his highly aroused state, her husband readily
agreed.

This scenario was repeated
each time they made love, for more than 30 years, with him thinking that it
was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that she
needed.

Arriving home around noon
one day, she was surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state.
During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going
through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go. It was
unlikely that, at the age of 59, he'd be able to find another position that
paid anywhere near what he'd been earning, and therefore, they were financially
ruined.

Calmly, his wife handed him
a bank book which showed more than thirty years of steady deposits and
interest totaling nearly $1 million. Then she showed him
certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over $2
million, and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in
the bank. She explained that for the more than three decades she had
"charged" him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these
were the results of her savings and investments.

Faced with evidence of cash
and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he
could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out,
"If I'd had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you ALL
of my business!"

That's when she shot him.

You know, sometimes men
just don't know when to keep their mouths shut.
